Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly to a method, an apparatus and a system for acquiring control information.

BACKGROUND

[0002] NR (New Radio) technology in 5G (Fifth-generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology) is similar to LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology in 4G (Fourth-generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology), and is also an air interface technology with a time-frequency structure, where time-frequency resources are used, the time dimension is divided into different OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the frequency dimension is divided into different sub-carriers.

[0003] In 5G, the frequency deployed for the NR is mostly in a high-frequency range and may be deployed from 3.3GHz to 24GHz, and thus, the carrier frequency range of the NR in 5G may be much larger than the carrier range of the LTE in 4G. As such, for one UE (User Equipment) and from the perspective of radio frequency capability and power consumption, a frequency band of the NR in 5G is divided into a plurality of BWPs (Band Width Part), and the UE is configured to work at at least one BWP at the same time. There is one RORESET (Control Resource Set) present in each BWP correspondingly, and the RORESET is a set of all the control information in the BWP to which it belongs, including such as control information, reference signals, etc. In general, a base station sends the RORESET to the UE via preset time-frequency resources in the BWP, and the UE working at the BWP may acquire the control information corresponding to itself in the RORESET from the preset time-frequency resources.

[0004] Sometimes, when the UE has a service requirement, the base station sends a BWP switching instruction to the UE. For example, the UE needs to switch from a BWP with a small frequency range to a BWP with a large frequency range when the size of the data to be sent thereby is large, and the like. After receiving the BWP switching instruction sent by the base station, the UE parses the BWP switching instruction to obtain the BWP to be switched to, and switches from a current BWP at which it works to the BWP obtained through parsing. However, in a BWP switching process, there may be BWP switching failures. For example, the UE receives the BWP switching instruction sent by the base station, but due to an error occurring during the parsing of the BWP switching instruction, obtains a wrong BWP through parsing and switches to the wrong BWP, and the like. In this way, the UE may not obtain the control information belonging to itself from the control resource set corresponding to the post-switching BWP, and may neither be dispatched nor receive the data sent by the base station, leading to the UE getting offline.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

[0038] An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for acquiring control information. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for acquiring control information may be implemented by a base station and a terminal jointly.

[0039] The terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer and other devices capable of using the mobile communication network, and the terminal may be provided with a processor, a memory, a transceiver, etc.; the processor may be configured to handle a process of acquiring control information; the memory may be configured to store data required and data produced in the process of acquiring control information; the transceiver may be configured to receive and send messages; and the terminal may be further provided with an input/output device such as a screen, which may be configured to display signal quality and the like and may be a touch screen.

[0040] The base station may be provided with a processor, a transceiver, a memory, etc.; the processor may be configured for relevant handling in the process of acquiring control information; the transceiver may be configured to receive and send data; and the memory may be configured to store data required and data produced in the process of acquiring control information.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 2, a process flow of the method may include the following steps.

[0042] In step 201, the base station sends the indication information to the terminal.

[0043] Among them, the indication information is configured to indicate a standby BWP that is used when the terminal has a BWP switching failure, that is, the standby BWP is a BWP to which the terminal switches when the BWP switching failure occurs. The BWP indicated by the indication information is any of a BWP at which a terminal works currently, a BWP at which the terminal works previously, and preset BWP. In general, the terminal may work at multiple BWPs at the same time. The BWP at which the terminal works currently refers to multiple BWPs at which the terminal works currently at the same time; the BWP at which the terminal works previously refers to BWPs at which the terminal works before the current time point; and the preset BWP may be any of all the BWPs.

[0044] In implementation, after each terminal starts up and accesses the network, the base station may send the indication information to the terminal via the broadcast signaling, the upper-layer signaling, or the physical-layer instruction, and the upper-layer signaling may be a signaling based on RRC (Radio Resource Control), or a signaling sent via MAC (Media Access Control). In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal is described in detail, and the processes of other terminals are the same. If the standby BWP is the preset BWP when the terminal has a BWP switching failure, the indication information may be information that carries an identifier of the preset BWP, such as a frequency range of the preset BWP. If the standby BWP is the BWP at which the terminal works currently ("currently" here refers to the time when the switching failure occurs) or previously when the terminal has a BWP switching failure, the indication information may indicate how to select the BWP to be switched to, such as the indication information being the information notifying to select the BWP with the broadest frequency band among the BWPs at which the terminal works currently when the BWP switching failure occurs, or being the information notifying to select the BWP closest to the current time point among the BWPs at which the terminal works previously when the BWP switching failure occurs, or the like.

[0045] In step 202, the terminal receives the indication information sent by the base station.

[0046] In implementation, the terminal may receive the indication information sent by the base station, and store the indication information.

[0047] In step 203, the terminal switches to the BWP indicated by the indication information when detecting that the BWP switching failure occurs.

[0048] In implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, if the terminal has not detected the control information of its own when it reaches the condition for acquiring the control information (this process will be described later in detail), it is determined that the BWP switching failure occurs. When detecting that the BWP switching failure occurs, the terminal acquires the stored indication information, parses the indication information to obtain the BWP indicated by the indication information, and then switches to the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0049] Optionally, there are two cases where the BWP switching is determined to be failed, which are described below in detail.

[0050] In the first case, the BWP indicated by the indication information is switched to when a duration since last successful demodulation to the control information corresponding to the terminal reaches a first duration.

[0051] Among them, the first duration is a preset value, or a value computed based on a first reference duration, a BWP parameter corresponding to a pre-switching BWP, and a preset computing method. The preset value may also be preset by a technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. The first reference duration may also be preset by a technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. The BWP parameter includes a sub-carrier spacing of the pre-switching BWP, a bandwidth of the pre-switching BWP, and the like. The preset computing method may also be preset by the technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. For example, the preset computing method may be t1=T/(BWP parameter/15(KHz)), with t1 being the first duration, T being the first reference duration, and the BWP parameter being the sub-carrier spacing of the pre-switching BWP; and the preset computing method may also be t1=T^∗(BWP parameter/5(MHz)), with t1 being the first duration, T being the first reference duration, and the BWP parameter being the bandwidth of the pre-switching BWP.

[0052] In implementation, in general, the base station periodically sends the control information corresponding to the terminal in the BWP at which the terminal works currently; sometimes when determining that the terminal needs to perform the BWP switching, the base station may send a BWP switching instruction to the terminal; when the terminal does not receive the BWP switching instruction but the base station considers that the terminal has switched to the BWP indicated by the BWP switching instruction, the base station sends the control information corresponding to the terminal in the post-switching BWP, rather than in pre-switching BWP; in this way, the terminal may detect that the duration since last successful demodulation to the control information corresponding to itself reaches the first duration, and the terminal may acquire the stored indication information, parse the indication information to obtain the BWP indicated by the indication information, and then switch to the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0053] It should be noted that each time when the control information corresponding to the terminal is successfully demodulated from the BWP, the terminal re-times from zero to determine whether the duration since the last successful demodulation to the control information corresponding to the terminal reaches the first duration.

[0054] Optionally, the terminal receives configuration information of the first duration that is sent by the base station via a broadcast signaling, an upper-layer signaling, or a physical-layer signaling.

[0055] Among them, the configuration information includes a first reference duration and a preset computing method. The first reference duration, such as 1 ms, may be preset by a technician and stored in the base station. The preset computing method may also be preset by the technician, and stored in the base station.

[0056] In implementation, after the terminal starts up and accesses the network, the base station may send the configuration information of the first duration to the terminal via the broadcast signaling, the upper-layer signaling, or the physical-layer instruction, and the upper-layer signaling may be a signaling based on RRC (Radio Resource Control), or a signaling sent via the MAC (Media Access Control). After receiving the configuration information sent by the base station, the terminal may store the configuration information of the first duration.

[0057] In addition, the configuration information may further include a BWP parameter of the pre-switching BWP, such as a bandwidth of the pre-switching BWP, a sub-carrier spacing of the pre-switching BWP, etc.

[0058] Optionally, the first duration is expressed by a length of time, a number of unit time-domain resources, or a number of code block groups.

[0059] In implementation, the first duration may be expressed by a length of time, such as 5 ms and the like as the first duration.

[0060] The first duration may also be expressed by a number of unit time-domain resources. For example, the unit time-domain resource may be a symbol, a time slot, a sub-frame, etc.; the first duration may be a time slot, i.e. 0.5 ms; and the first duration is a sub-frame, i.e. 1 ms.

[0061] The first duration may also be expressed by a number of code clock groups. In general, one TTI may contain multiple code block groups, and the duration of each TTI is 1 ms, and thus, the number of code block groups may be used for timing. For example, if one TTI includes 5 code block groups, each of which has a duration of 0.2 ms, and the number of the code block groups is 3, then the first duration is 0.6 ms.

[0062] In a second case, the BWP indicated by the indication information is switched to when the control information corresponding to the terminal is not acquired from a post-switching BWP within a second duration after receiving a BWP switching instruction sent by the base station.

[0063] Among them, the second duration is a preset value, or a value computed based on a second reference duration, a BWP parameter corresponding to a post-switching BWP, and a preset computing method. A preset value may be preset by the technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. The second reference duration may also be preset by the technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. The BWP parameter includes a sub-carrier spacing, a BWP bandwidth, etc. The preset computing method may also be preset by the technician and stored in the terminal, or received from the base station. For example, the preset computing method may be t1=T/(BWP parameter/15(KHz)), with t1 being the second duration, T being the second reference duration, and the BWP parameter being the sub-carrier spacing of the post-switching BWP; and the preset computing method may also be t1=T^∗(BWP parameter/5(MHz)), with t1 being the second duration, T being the second reference duration, and the BWP parameter being the bandwidth of the post-switching BWP, wherein the post-switching BWP here is the BWP indicated by the BWP switching instruction.

[0064] In implementation, in general, the base station periodically sends the control information corresponding to the terminal in the BWP at which the terminal works currently; when determining that the terminal needs to perform the BWP switching, the base station may send a BWP switching instruction to the terminal; and after receiving the BWP switching instruction, the terminal first parses the BWP switching instruction to obtain the BWP indicated by the BWP switching instruction, and then, switches to the BWP indicated by the BWP switching instruction. Sometimes, the terminal may obtain a wrong BWP after parsing the BWP switching instruction, and thus may switch to the wrong BWP, and the terminal in turn may not acquire the control information corresponding to the terminal from the post-switching BWP within the second duration after receiving the BWP switching instruction sent by the base station. The terminal may acquire the stored indication information, parses the indication information to obtain the BWP indicated by the indication information, and then switches to the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0065] Optionally, the terminal may receive the BWP switching instruction sent by the base station by means of a variety of instructions, and a corresponding process may be as follows:
switching to the BWP indicated by the indication information when the control information corresponding to the terminal is not acquired from the post-switching BWP within the second duration after receiving a BWP switching instruction sent by the base station via a broadcast signaling, an upper-layer signaling, or a physical-layer signaling.

[0066] In implementation, when determining that the terminal needs to perform BWP switching, the base station may send a BWP switching instruction to the terminal via a broadcast signaling, an upper-layer signaling, or a physical-layer signaling, where the upper-layer signaling may be a signaling based on RRC or a signaling sent via MAC. The subsequent processes have been described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] Optionally, configuration information of the second duration that is sent by the base station is received via a broadcast signaling, an upper-layer signaling, or a physical-layer signaling.

[0068] Among them, the configuration information includes a second reference duration and a preset computing method. The second reference duration such as 2 ms may be preset by a technician and stored in the base station. The preset computing method may also be preset by the technician, and stored to the base station.

[0069] In implementation, after the terminal starts up and accesses the network, the base station may send the configuration information of the second duration to the terminal via the broadcast signaling, the upper-layer signaling, or the physical-layer instruction, and the upper-layer signaling may be a signaling based on RRC (Radio Resource Control), or a signaling sent via the MAC (Media Access Control). After receiving the configuration information sent by the base station, the terminal may store the configuration information of the second duration.

[0070] Optionally, the second duration is expressed by a length of time, a number of unit time-domain resources, or a number of code block groups.

[0071] In implementation, the second duration may be expressed by a length of time, such as 5 ms and the like as the second duration.

[0072] The second duration may also be expressed by a number of unit time-domain resources. For example, the unit time-domain resource may be a symbol, a time slot, a sub-frame, etc.; the second duration may be a time slot, i.e., 0.5 ms; and the second duration is a sub-frame, i.e., 1 ms.

[0073] The second duration may also be expressed by a number of code clock groups. In general, one TTI may contain multiple code block groups, and the duration of each TTI is 1 ms, and thus, the number of code block groups may be used for timing. For example, if one TTI includes 5 code block groups, each of which has a duration of 0.2 ms, and the number of the code block groups is three, then the second duration is 0.6 ms.

[0074] It should be noted that since the first duration and the second duration represent different meanings, the first duration and the second duration are generally different.

[0075] In step 204, the base station sends control information corresponding to the terminal to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0076] In implementation, when the BWP indicated by the indication information is a preset BWP, a pre-switching BWP, or a post-switching BWP, the base station may send the corresponding control information to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information when determining that the terminal has a BWP switching failure (the process will be described later in detail).

[0077] In addition, when the BWP indicated by the indication information is a preset BWP, the base station may send the control information corresponding to the terminal in the preset BWP in each cycle. In this way, it is unnecessary for the base station to determine whether the terminal has a BWP switching failure.

[0078] Optionally, when the switching success notification is not received, the control information corresponding to the terminal may be sent to the terminal, and the corresponding step 204 may include the following process:
sending control information corresponding to the terminal to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information when a BWP switching success notification sent by the terminal is not received within a third duration after a BWP switching instruction is sent to the terminal.

[0079] Among them, the third duration may be preset by the technician and stored in the base station, or may be computed from the first duration or the second duration, such as by adding an offset to the first duration or the second duration to obtain the third duration, where the offset here represents the sum of a transmission duration and a parsing duration of the BWP switching instruction.

[0080] In implementation, when determining that the terminal needs to perform the BWP switching, the base station may send a BWP switching instruction to the terminal; the timing starts after the BWP switching instruction is sent; when the duration reaches the third duration and the BWP switching success notification sent by the terminal has not been received, the base station determines that the terminal has a BWP switching failure. The base station may send corresponding control information to the terminal periodically at the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0081] Optionally, the third duration may also be expressed by a length of time, a number of unit time-domain resources, or a number of code block groups.

[0082] Optionally, when the terminal may not switch to the BWP indicated by the indication information all along due to its own reasons (such as a fault), the base station may stop sending the corresponding control information to the terminal, and a corresponding process may be as follows:
stopping sending the control information corresponding to the terminal to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information when a BWP switching failure notification sent by the terminal is not received within a fourth duration after the control information corresponding to the terminal is sent to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information.

[0083] Among them, the fourth duration may be preset by a technician and stored in the base station.

[0084] In implementation, after the base station sends the corresponding control information to the terminal for the first time at the BWP indicated by the indication information, the base station may start timing; when the duration reaches the fourth duration and the BWP switching failure notification sent by the terminal has not been received, the base station does not send the control information corresponding to the terminal to the terminal at the BWP indicated by the indication information, thereby saving transmission resources.
